Observe the Economic Fallout Six Years Later
There’s never been a better time to sign the resolution at CovidJustice.org. There is every intention on the part of elites to try lockdowns again under some other excuse. They can and likely will, whether for infectious disease or some other justification.

The Murray Rothbard I Knew
Murray Rothbard was not only a sweet and wonderful human being. He was a model intellectual with an irrepressible desire to understand and tell what is true. No scholar with such an outlook can fit comfortably in any establishment in any age.
Goodbye and Good Riddance to the Endangerment Finding
Trump’s cancellation of the so-called “endangerment finding” with respect to CO2 made by the Obama White House in 2009 is so profoundly important as to make up for a legion of Trump’s spending, borrowing, easy money, and tariffing sins.

The Fraud Industrial Complex
But Shirley has set off a nationwide movement by citizen journalists to expose fraud. Incentivized by the fact whistleblowers get 15-30% of recoveries. Unless we see a lot of people in handcuffs, we’re this close to a taxpayer revolt.
Trump’s 2025 National Security Strategy
The NSS articulates the administration’s national security vision and how the elements of US power will be used in pursuit of national security goals. It is meant to bring the different elements of his international policies into a coherent strategic framework.
The Great War Was the Great Error
There was no good reason for the Great War. The world had stumbled into war based on false narratives and the institutional imperatives of military mobilization plans, alliances, and treaties arrayed into a doomsday machine and short-term diplomatic maneuvers.
